My problem is that they gave out the time of their first meeting, but not the place. When I inquired they said they were being selective about who came (they wanted transit big wigs). I thought it was bullshit because meetings should be open to anyone who wants to learn more.

I’m not going to email their group to “ask” to join their meeting so that they can evaluate me (or anyone else) to see if I (or anyone else) am worthy of attending. The meeting info should be public knowledge and anybody should be able to show up.

“Buses seem to be the playground of the illegal alien to a large extent. I say shut the whole system down. Companies can set up their own shuttle services if they feel there is a critical need in specific cases.The drivers are incredibly rude too.”

“I shop at the Orange Mall routinely, and I park near the huge OCTA transit center there. I never see any bus that is more than one third full, no matter what time of day. Many times I see buses coming and going from that OCTA center and there are only two or three people on each bus!

Stop this wasteful system where a majority of the taxpayers subsidize a tiny minority of the citizens to ride around in empty buses all day long!”

“Shut down the whole system. Let people ride bikes, mopeds and walk.
Plan your time better.
By getting rid of of this tax eating monstrosity we will cut down on noise, clear the roads and save billions of taxpayer dollars.”

… the Transit Advocates of Orange County need all the help they can get. They should want stupid people like me showing up, not just “big wigs.”
